Christmas baking.

[Logan]

I'd like to know what baking you are doing.
These are my special mince pies, with chopped cherries. No chopped nuts this time, hubby's got to be careful with his teeth.

I baked
Mince Tarts
Cherry Tarts
Christmas cake
Snicker doodles
Shortbread
Spritz press cookies
Coconut Maraschino cookies
Gingerbread men
Ice box cookies
Then made Rum balls
Eggnog fudge
White chocolate christmas jewel fudge
And chocolate mint fudge

I made enough for 7 large trays and 6 small trays and sprinkled them with store bought candy canes.

And I have lots of Christmas cake just for me!

Oops forgot to mention the meringues ...

Those look good. I made ribs on the grill

not too much here. Apple Cranberry Walnut bread, 6 loafs for gifts.

I start my Christmas baking shortly after Thanksgiving. I have pumpkin bread, cranberry nut bread, Amish cut out cookies, spritz, gingersnaps,parmegiano crackers and cheddar crackers (for the diabetics on my list) and almond brownies. I make up nine plates for friends and for the feed store, hardware store, and grocery.
I love this time of year--I can bake to my heart's content, and make folks happy with home-made treats!

@CanadianLori never heard of snicker cookies.
But they all sounds yummy.

 

[Logan]

@marlingardener those sound great. I think people are more pleased when it's home made.

I prefer ribs on the grill or a whole chicken thigh, a duck breast, a marbled sirloin.. Cakes not my favorite ..

But Logan, they are fab and I bet they taste as much.. Ding Dong, here comes alp!

Whoa! You're in your elements! Bet your kitchen smells nice!

People may laugh but one of my favorite holiday treats is CHEX Mix. I just can't get enough of it and will make several batches. Everyone knows that if they stop over between Thanksgiving and New Years there will be a bowl of CHEX Mix handy. As for the baking, my daughter will make a ton of sugar cookies in various Christmas shapes and pumpkin pies.

 

[CanadianLori]

@Silentrunning I have a friend who makes nutsnbolts which includes chex cereal. One of the trays of cookies is for him and he is going to hand me some of his great mix.

I now picture you sitting at the helm of a sub eating chex mix

Would love to feast our eyes on your delice, @marlingardener ! Make sure you upload tons of pics.. Home spun and honest food is best. I'd love a bit of parmegiano crackers.. Any way, anything with parmagiano in it tastes nice. I specially bought one for Christmas.

 

[marlingardener]

Alp, I'll be setting up the last plates for distribution tomorrow. I'll ask my husband to take a photo and I'll post later this week. Thank you for asking, and I will happily share the parm cracker recipe with anyone who wants it.

Good news - looking forward to seeing your lovely food. I only have a gas oven which was the worst buy of mine, next to a Bosch washing machine which this morning read 0.01 and then for no reason went to 0.05. No wonder my washing is never finished. As for my oven, even my potatoes usually come out a disaster. I have to wrap my food in a foil chamber to make sure it is not burnt or burnt but uncooked inside. I'm a lousy cook! I do love eating, but not sweet cakes.. Love Italian foods
